Hi:
We wnet on 3 Renaissance cruises before their demise; however, we did find a nice substitute for the small ship cruises: UNIWORLD! Last September, we took Uniworld's cruise from Chalon to Arles in the South of France.....it was a very satisfying experience. The crew was very courteous, all excursions were included in the price; the cabins were satsifactory; the food was good and the 120 passenegers were all very happy and satisfied. I would highly recommend that cruise line for river excursions. As a matter of fact, we are taking our second cruise with them, the Holland river cruise the first week in May. happy cruising........
